“What? You want to run the Clarke House of Jewel?” Christian screeches loudly. “I didn’t hear wrong, did I?”

Suri folded her arms across her chest. “So what if I want to run the Clarke House of Jewel? You doubt my ability?”

“Absolutely,” Christian replies without hesitation. “Clarke House of Jewel is one of the best jewelry manufacturers in Europe, the customers are not only from ordinary people. Many artists, important people and even European royalty have ordered our jewelry collection, so you think I will give you that much trust to take care of it? Oh no my dear sister, I would never risk the great name of Clarke House of Jewel.”

“What if I also share in the running of the Clarke House of Jewel, Christ?”

Not only Christian who immediately looked at Zwetta, Anne and Jack, who had only been observers of Suri and Christian’s debate, also immediately looked at Zwetta who was sitting quietly beside Suri who was smiling triumphantly.

“W-what do you mean, honey?” stuttered Christian, his eyes darting to Zwetta.

“I’ll be accompanying Suri to run the Clarke House of Jewel.”

“No!!” n0𝒱𝑬𝗅𝓊𝓈𝗯.𝑪0𝚖

“You’re not allowed to do that, Zee!”

…..

Christian and Jack shouted simultaneously in response to Zwetta’s, their voices were so loud they could be heard in several other rooms on the first floor.

Christian who panicked immediately approached Zwetta. “You’re pregnant and pregnant women need a lot of time to rest, Zee. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you and our child.”

“I’m pregnant, not sick. So you don’t need to be so panicked, Christ. Besides, my womb is fine, we’re both healthy and don’t need this kind of undue attention from you. If you keep forcing me to be quiet and do nothing then it’s possible I’ll get sick instead…”

“Nobody gets sick from resting.” Christian interrupted Zwetta without hesitation. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Zwetta pursed her lips, she forgot who she was talking to. “Ask Mommy if you don’t believe me, Mommy is much more experienced than me. Surely Mommy knows more about pregnancy problems like this.”

Christian doesn’t move, he doesn’t do what Zwetta says. Christian seems to know that if he asks his mother, his mother will support Zwetta’s and Christian doesn’t want that to happen, that’s why he prefers to remain silent and not ask his mother’s opinion.

“I’m really fine, Christ,” Zwetta starting to get nervous, Christian made Zwetta start to feel uncomfortable. “I need fun activities during this period of my pregnancy, Christ.”

“I will give you the activities you want, I am even willing to accompany you through this pregnancy for 24 hours straight,” Christian answered with determination.

Zwetta flinched. “Y-you want to accompany me for 24 hours straight? You mean you will stay at home and not go to work, is that it?”

There was a note of concern in Zwetta’s, it was obvious that Zwetta didn’t want Christian to do that. Being accompanied for 24 hours straight by a man who is so talkative and so worried about her womb is the most terrible thing that Zwetta experienced.

Christian nods excitedly. “Yeah, I decided to work from home and ordered Kainer to replace me at the office.”

“You can’t do that!” Suri said annoyed.

Christian immediately turned to Suri. “Why can’t I? I own the company, I manage and have full control of Clarke Enterprise. I can do whatever I want including working from home while Zwetta is pregnant.”

“Christ.” Anne, who couldn’t take it anymore, finally spoke up. “What your wife said is true, Zwetta needs lots of fun activities during her pregnancy. If you keep her at home and don’t allow her to do a lot of activities, bad things will actually happen, your wife is pregnant, not sick.”

“I really don’t forbid my wife to do a lot of activities, Mom. I actually support her, really support her even. What I’m concerned about here is her desire to work, let alone take care of the Clarke House of Jewel which has so much work. I would not allow my wife to take care of the chores that kind of tiring, isn’t it?”

“But Zwetta will not work alone, I will help her,” said Suri quickly. “And also there are other workers who will help us take care of the company, so you don’t have to be afraid and overdo it Christ!”

Christian immediately gave Suri a murderous look. “The main problem is that Zwetta will definitely bother you a lot, I really don’t doubt her abilities, Zwetta was once my personal secretary and I really know her credibility at work. It’s just that right now she is pregnant and your pregnant sister-in-law is a workaholic , she will forget that she is pregnant if she is working later. That’s why I forbid her to work, especially if her co-worker is you, the annoying spoiled princess.”

“Christian!!” Suri screamed loudly. “Daddy help me, Christian has been undermining my abilities.” Suri ran towards Jack, asking for help from her father who had chosen not to get involved in the serious conversation that was going on.

Jack smiled a little when Suri had fallen down on him, his youngest daughter who had managed to regain her self-confidence looked so cute when she was sulking like this.

“Daddy help me,” Suri said back. “Christian underestimated me too much, Daddy.”

With great affection Jack stroked Suri’s long hair.

From his seat Christian sneered at what Suri was doing at the moment and Suri who saw her brother’s actions chose to ignore it, Suri actually tightened her arms around her father’s body asking for help.

“Daddy feels what Suri said earlier was right Christ, we need to give her a chance to take care of the company,” Jack said carefully. “And the Clarke House of Jewel seems like the perfect place for your sister to expand her capabilities to lead the company, just like you are currently doing.”

“Clarke House of Jewel is no ordinary subsidiary, Dad. It’s a big company that people know a lot about, we can’t give a company that already has such a big name a tryout for Suri. What kind of company would it be if there were a lot of Disappointed customers? There are so many competitors in the jewelry business world and we can’t take such a big risk just to please Suri,” Christian said firmly.” I’m not going let that happen, Dad. I won’t.”

“Isn’t it very unfair if you already judge Suri’s ability when she hasn’t proven her ability to manage the company, Christ?” Zwetta again interrupted Christian’s words in a soft, firm voice. “It would be very unfair for all of us to judge someone’s abilities based on their daily behavior without seeing how hard they work.”

“Zee…”

“What your wife said is true, Son. It seems unfair for us to underestimate Suri’s abilities when we haven’t given her the opportunity to work,” Anne said slowly in response to Zwetta’s.
